Last year was a little difficult as we were in the process of purchasing our first home and moving but I’m writing this list since it is one of my most popular and is requested when I don’t!

When I was putting together this list, I realized that I didn’t receive as many emails/coupon cards as I normally would. I think it’s because I’ve unsubscribed from quite a few emails and stopped supporting some companies. Also moving and changing my address probably added to that. You can see 2015’s list here for comparison. Enough chit chat! I present 2017’s list of birthday coupons.

Email received: I didn’t receive an email like I normally would, and I emailed customer service about it. They sent me a code once I confirmed my birth date and saw that I was a subscriber. This year, the minimum purchase amount increased from $50 to $100.

I know it’s been a while… A long, long, long time. I won’t say this is a comeback, I am just making an effort to get back into it. I even created a separate Instagram to share things when I don’t … Continue reading →

Holiday travel season is approaching as quickly as the cold weather that comes with it. Some of us will be on a plane for an hour or less and others almost 24 hours between flights and airports. I was reading about beauty routines while traveling and I thought that I’d share what I’m taking with me this season, and plan on trying as well.

For the last year or two I’ve been trying to figure out what works best for my face for my long haul flights. We take 2-3 flights to get home and most of the time, we’re delayed which means we spend more time than we hope in airports. While I’ve found a lip balm** that is a MUST for me while flying, I’m still working on finding the perfect face cream. This is because Seattle is cold and Barbados is warm and I break into a sweat at the door of the airplane when I land in Barbados. Therefore, I’m looking for a moisturizing cream that won’t have me looking like I’m ready for the fryer when I get to Barbados. Lately, I’ve been using my Clinique Overnight Moisture Surge Mask because I love how smooth it leaves my skin. But, as I’m learning, a hydrating face mist is very important to include. I’ve been taking notes from The 5 Most Important Products To Use On A Plane and 23 Things Beauty Pros Won’t Travel Without, and I’ve put together a new kit for myself that includes travel sizes of the following:

It also helps to have cute little pouches to hold everything in like these (1,2,3) but in reality we all need a TSA friendly pouch to put everything in. As far as sanitizer goes, I have the Honest gel sanitizer in every one of the baby bags that I use but I think I’ll get the spray one to put in my travel bag. I don’t know if I would be able to do a full wipe, spray and cleanse when traveling with a baby at the beginning of a flight but I know my husband will help out in some way lol.

I also recommend following Chriselle Lim’s Blog for more ideas. She’s my current blog crush (>_<) mainly because she’s a new mom too AND a stylist.
